Vixia HF R600 is no longer recording any videos?

We just purchased the vixia HF R600 video camera a couple of weeks ago. We have already recorded several videos, played them back on the camera, and uploaded some on the computer. Today, we recorded several videos but only one was recorded. All other data was lost. There is next to nothing on the memory card so space is not an issue. The camera reads that we are recording, but nothing is actually being saved.

Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) that support capacities up to 32 GB

Secure Digital eXtended Capacity (SDXC) that support capacities more than 32GB

While we don't recommend specific brands or models of cards, we do recommend that you use a memory card produced by a major manufacturer of memory cards that closely adhere to the current industry standards. You may see the standards at sdcard.org.

We recommend against the use of cards that require an adapter to fit in the comcorder (i.e. micoSD or Mini SD). The increase in the number of connections between the camera and memory card (from the memory card to the adapter, then from the adapter to the camera) makes a malfunction more likely.

Your comcorder does not offer support for memory cards using the UHS-I or UHS-II standards. While some of these cards are backward compatible with older memory card standards, not all of them will work. Please check with the card manufacturer for details regarding backward compatibility with the Speed Class 10 or Speed Class 6 card standards.

If your memory cards meet the standards described above, I recommend saving your movies and images to your computer, then performing a complete initialization of the memory card. Here's how:

If you continue to encounter this issue, I recommend trying a different brand/ model memory card.

Hi,Has anyone else had issues when recording longer videos in MP4 29.97 in this camera?

My ~1h videos, on many times, corrupt the recordingin the middle of it. But the file is still there. When playing in VLC, it just freezes at the corruption point.

Sometimes the recording leaves a long void in the file, coming back a long time later. In Kdenlive or in Blender, I can see the audio present in the portions of existing video. But the church service recordings are gone.

Reset your video camcorder from menu. It is the design that it records less than 30 min. then it stops. You will have to manualy stop and start recording again. It is better to stop at break point and never try like time elapse recording.

If this will not work for any reason, this will need tech support / repair from canon.
